Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.922Please respect copyright.PENANAz0Mv4RChSj
922Please respect copyright.PENANAwFUW2qBy3r
He sighed, pulling at his hoodie a bit to cover his face more, and he looked down at his blue, worn sneakers through blurry eyes.922Please respect copyright.PENANAqZgLxLw3iF
922Please respect copyright.PENANAhn3t61pAKs
At this hour, it was safe to say most of the city was asleep, but he was wide awake. Mentally tired, but he was wide awake. He didn't feel sleepy at all, and he wouldn't dare close his eyes right now.922Please respect copyright.PENANAPCGpez2rHM
922Please respect copyright.PENANAC1RH7rAAZp
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.922Please respect copyright.PENANAV4Sxf3uFb2
922Please respect copyright.PENANAK1tWu6wUUw
The teen held back a sob, rubbing his arm against his face to get rid of the tears. He just wanted to forget right now. It'd be good for his anxiety to just pretend he lived a different life for now.922Please respect copyright.PENANAqe4yLykBaj
922Please respect copyright.PENANAEpoV66RvlR
Then he quickly rushed into a small, run-down restaurant that stayed open even at night. Of course, the place was very empty, save a woman behind the counter and a young man at one of the few tables.922Please respect copyright.PENANAZQbGwlaZJN
922Please respect copyright.PENANAlthTfOKjsl
The teen sighed again, feeling a bit better in the warm room instead of the crippling cold air that somehow made him feel even more numb then he already was. He walked over to one of the tables--the one near the other teen--collapsing in it and pulling his hoodie back, revealing his black shaggy hair.922Please respect copyright.PENANAcKX0tzXVxw
922Please respect copyright.PENANAS6VqXV3joI
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAP9sWVQoeJA
922Please respect copyright.PENANACCDpmBVf2N
The teen thought about it for a moment. He didn't feel like eating. And he didn't have much money on him. "Hot tea."922Please respect copyright.PENANAVIAiZOy56G
922Please respect copyright.PENANAV2onGxixA6
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."922Please respect copyright.PENANAg3Eqd8relo
922Please respect copyright.PENANALwmyHMi0oG
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.922Please respect copyright.PENANASK11rh9mq6
922Please respect copyright.PENANA0aNsVEjq6O
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.922Please respect copyright.PENANAwfz5sxRafX
922Please respect copyright.PENANAxgwchidRZP
"I can say the same. And anyways, haven't you ever heard that you shouldn't talk to strangers?" The teen snapped again, this time glaring at the light brown, messy haired boy.922Please respect copyright.PENANAXyg9ezrjK9
922Please respect copyright.PENANAfX0IUjU8SH
The second boy laughed a little. "Well, when you can't even trust your family to not hurt you, does it even matter then? Plus, think about it, how would anyone make friends if they didn't talk to strangers?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAoZDSJG4nxb
922Please respect copyright.PENANAi3dnpAdN5M
The black haired boy stared at him curiously, though didn't say anything, and the other boy didn't say anything else since the waitress walked back over, placing a mug of hot tea in front the black haired teen.922Please respect copyright.PENANAy6oicA0ATl
922Please respect copyright.PENANA0KbfkoDquc
Though once she left, the brown haired boy stood up with his plate of some sort of cake with white frosting on it, walking over to the black haired boys table, sitting down.922Please respect copyright.PENANAOuNxhBQgz3
922Please respect copyright.PENANAYbpFQLxLbu
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.922Please respect copyright.PENANAtqxzyVLdae
922Please respect copyright.PENANAAHToD890kT
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.922Please respect copyright.PENANAlfrNLBfSae
922Please respect copyright.PENANA7gec8zyuR7
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"922Please respect copyright.PENANAmNlw6kj1k0
922Please respect copyright.PENANAS4FoRtCl4I
"Sure thing." The woman told him, grabbing up a small clean dish and walking over to the table, setting it down, and the brown haired boy transferred one of the pieces of the cake to the other plate, sliding it over to the other teen. "Relax, Stranger, I just ordered this cake, so its not like I had enough time to poison it." The second teen joked, glancing at the boy across him.922Please respect copyright.PENANAAR6ax1Xivu
922Please respect copyright.PENANAzwb1OmRqsH
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?922Please respect copyright.PENANArMxmh49rZp
922Please respect copyright.PENANA1muWy1ekh1
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.922Please respect copyright.PENANAb2S2PubgpA
922Please respect copyright.PENANAU6lLtDbJHN
The black haired teen grabbed up a spoon that was on the napkin beside his mug, before bringing it over to his cake to cut a small bit off to start with. "Thank you..."922Please respect copyright.PENANAmW019pDzdE
922Please respect copyright.PENANA3GeWZwcbBS
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.922Please respect copyright.PENANARRHMpNyta2
922Please respect copyright.PENANAxihNCR8jvt
The black haired boy glanced down into his mug, looking at his reflection, and when he didn't answer the teen, the guy shifted, sighing slightly. "I mean, we're strangers, bound to never meet again, and we both have our problems, so we might as well get it off our chests, since I'm sure you have no one to talk to, and I don't either."922Please respect copyright.PENANA56PZ55DThR
922Please respect copyright.PENANAKciovIrcSd
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.922Please respect copyright.PENANAbCdF0Bckgg
922Please respect copyright.PENANAbWOuebpVYf
"My parents are both really strict and are complete jerks who don't understand me, and yell at me and get on to me about every little thing, and I'm tired of it. I don't have any friends, save my boyfriend who just slapped me and yelled at me before breaking up." He explained snappily, and he could feel the tears welling up in his eyes again.922Please respect copyright.PENANAFv0Rhtk4H9
922Please respect copyright.PENANADXf8yuXNHz
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAvqaJfmX6sv
922Please respect copyright.PENANAx4AXuR5gAs
"Yeah...and honestly, they barely accepted me for it." The black haired teen muttered, taking another bite of his cake...it tasted like chocolate and it was so amazing. It basically melted in his mouth too. And the hot tea went well with it.922Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5klyq9MQY
922Please respect copyright.PENANAcpw3fWGqBU
"Well, at least they kinda accepted you." The brown haired teen told him with a gentle smile, standing up and pulling some money out of his pocket and laying it down on the table before starting to walk out of the building.922Please respect copyright.PENANAVyTeRj3pmM
922Please respect copyright.PENANAevy9qi05yw
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.922Please respect copyright.PENANAWebXL7APgP
922Please respect copyright.PENANAtaZEMP3Wa3
Then the other teen smiled at him. "Oh, I ran away. My parents couldn't accept me, and I was constantly being used by other boys. Nice talking to you, Stranger."922Please respect copyright.PENANAxA4zAxTg8w
922Please respect copyright.PENANA07SdpnyfIU
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.922Please respect copyright.PENANA4aucoyMFgV
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.922Please respect copyright.PENANAWLWBfbMio0
922Please respect copyright.PENANAoUFoHAIUWm
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.922Please respect copyright.PENANAny2cXFqXON
922Please respect copyright.PENANAKNxiWGVuNQ
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
